The Detroit Lions announced on Tuesday all of the jersey numbers for their new additions. It’s an exciting moment, because fans can now get the opportunity to buy merchandise with the correct numbers of their new favorite player. Of course, it’s always buyer beware, because it’s commonplace for rookies to change their numbers early and often. When the roster cuts down to 53, we often see a flurry of changes, and sometimes a player “graduates” to a new number in subsequent years.
It’s also worth reminding you that this year, the number zero is available for the first time.
